Chapter 364: Chapter 338: Sowing Discord (Extra update for 2000+ monthly votes)

Before Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang came out, Yu Mingxi attracted more than half of the attention due to the wrinkled clothes on her body and the marks on her face.

Yu family’s relatives were whispering about what happened to Third Brother Yu today.

Jia Xiufang didn’t know at first that she was Yu Minglang’s sister and was chatting with her fourth aunt sitting beside her.

“Do you find that woman familiar? She looks like a celebrity.”

“Yes, she does look familiar. It seems like I have seen her on TV before, singing folk songs…Her name seems to be Shu Xi. However, she’s not wearing makeup today, so she looks a bit different, not as radiant as on television.”

Third Brother Yu sat next to his aunt, feeling so sleepy that his head was drooping, completely unaware of being the focus. If it were not for being in public, he would have fallen asleep on the table.

As Jia Xiufang was pondering how great the Old Yu Family was since they knew so many people, she saw Mother Yu go to the celebrity’s table, say something to her, and the star reluctantly stood up, following Mother Yu towards them, yawning in the process.

“Xiufang! She’s coming over! Should I ask for an autograph for my future daughter-in-law?” Fourth Aunt was slightly nervous – a TV star was coming down!

“I want one too, so beautiful!” Chen Zilong stared straight at the stunning woman, seeing a celebrity up close for the first time.

“Both of you, restrain yourselves. Don’t embarrass Qian’er. Let’s wait and see.” Jia Xiufang remembered to take care of Xiao Qian’s dignity, not daring to show her excitement, for fear of people laughing at her for being a bumpkin.

In fact, upon closer inspection, many familiar faces were seated at the Old Yu Family tables – they were people who often appeared on the news, and Jia Xiufang considered them all to be “leaders.”

“My dear, this is my family’s Third Brother, and the twin sister of the youngest sibling. She just got off the airplane and rushed back. Quick, say hello!” Mother Yu pulled Yu Mingxi.

Yu Mingxi, struggling to keep her eyes open, greeted Jia Xiufang with a radiant smile.

“Hello, aunt! I’m the sister of Yu Minglang.”

Jia Xiufang was greatly shocked – this was her daughter’s future sister-in-law!

Mother Yu laughed awkwardly and explained, “She’s been too busy with work, unable to take the time to visit earlier. She came straight here after getting off the plane, so my dear, please forgive her appearance.”

“It’s alright, we can understand work being busy. After dinner, let the child rest, and those dark circles are quite heartbreaking to look at.” Jia Xiufang could only follow Mother Yu’s words.

She hadn’t recovered from her shock that Yu Minglang’s sister was a celebrity yet.

“I apologize, aunt. I have been suffering from severe insomnia these past few days.” Yu Mingxi, fighting off the urge to yawn, spoke with difficulty through her drowsiness.

Jia Xiufang’s mouth twitched. This girl looks like she hasn’t slept for days. Mother Yu couldn’t continue talking, afraid that Yu Mingxi might fall asleep standing, so she exchanged a few polite words with Jia Xiufang and shooed her daughter away.

That naughty girl, they’ll settle scores later.

Mother Yu had to attend to the matters in the back, Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian were about to finish changing their clothes, and they had to go on stage soon. She needed to check on them.

After everyone left, Fourth Aunt whispered in Jia Xiufang’s ear,

“Xiufang, is your future son-in-law’s sister a celebrity?”

“I just found out…Minglang didn’t even mention this, good thing we didn’t embarrass ourselves just now.” Jia Xiufang remembered the etiquette that her daughter had taught her yesterday, fearing that she might embarrass her daughter if she did something wrong.

Marrying into a family with better conditions than her own, Jia Xiufang was not afraid of anything, except that her daughter’s family would embarrass Xiao Qian. She was especially careful not to look around and didn’t dare to be surprised when she saw familiar faces. Xiao Qian had told her in advance that when Mother Yu introduced someone, she should just maintain politeness.

Aunt Yu had been keeping an eye on Xiao Qian’s family’s movements.

Originally, she thought she could find faults with Xiao Qian’s family and ridicule them, since, in her heart, they were just ordinary people who had not seen the world, and faults should be easy to find.

However, Xiao Qian had prepared everything well in advance. Jia Xiufang’s clothes were personally selected by her, neither flashy nor inferior, and even Fourth Aunt’s attire was chosen under Xiao Qian’s guidance, elegant and low-key, fitting in with the distinguished air of women of that age. Jia Xiufang had wanted to wear all her gold bracelets and earrings, but Xiao Qian had taken them all off, saying it would make her look like a nouveau riche if she wore them to such a place.

Adorned with a Swarovski hair accessory and draped in a wool shawl, after applying light makeup, she looked like a noble lady when she didn’t speak.

Xiao Qian, the big boss in her past life, had her mother’s back and wouldn’t let her be ridiculed. A little education in etiquette could fool others, and as long as she didn’t speak, she wouldn’t look out of place among noble ladies.

What irritated Aunt even more was that the wool shawls on Jia Xiufang and Fourth Aunt were the same as the one she was wearing, just in different colors. Xiao Qian had personally chosen Jia Xiufang’s, which suited her fair-skinned and plump appearance, while Aunt’s insomniac pale face made the green shawl more prominent, highlighting her dark circles and fatigue.

Having her clothes collide with the ones worn by the woman she despised, Aunt was burning with a nameless rage. Seeing Yu Mingxi yawning and Jia Xiufang whispering with Fourth Aunt, she seized the opportunity to whisper to Yu Mingxi, tightening her shawl.

“Isn’t it very vulgar?”

“Huh?” Yu Mingxi sat down, her eyelids sticking together, she was so sleepy…

“Your future sibling’s family, they’re rude and uncultured. Look, they’re talking about you as soon as you arrive; they must be judging your attire. These rural people just love to pick on others.”

Yu Mingxi looked back at Jia Xiufang, who showed her a big smile, and Yu Mingxi smiled back at her.

“Look, baring teeth and grinning, completely indecorous.” Aunt critiqued Jia Xiufang.

After smiling at Jia Xiufang, Yu Mingxi turned to look at her aunt.

“Aunt, why does your eyeshadow look so bad?”

Aunt still wanted to find faults with Xiao Qian’s family, but she changed the topic, “Ah!” and immediately touched her eye.

“I used dark eyeshadow, it’s Lancome’s new product, is there a problem?”

“Yes, the color of your lower eyeshadow looks like a panda’s makeup.” Yu Mingxi said seriously, gesturing with her hand, followed by a self-deprecating comment.

“I accidentally did the same, haha!”

Aunt’s face darkened, and she didn’t say anything else.

Yu Mingxi closed her eyes, hoping to take a quick nap before Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian came out.

Insomnia is a very painful thing.

Unable to sleep at night, not clear-headed during the day, and feeling confused.

Just wanting to have a peaceful nap, Aunt still wouldn’t let go.

“Haven’t you come back to see the ‘good’ woman your brother has chosen?”

“Too busy… And I don’t want to see her.” Yu Mingxi, still suffering from altitude sickness after performing at a high-altitude area the day before, was feeling dizzy..
